Best of NQ 2002
The Fifteenth Annual Awards for the Year’s
Worst Reporting


     Welcome to the Media Research Center’s annual awards issue, a compilation of the most outrageous and/or humorous news media quotes from 2002 (December 2001 through November 2002). To determine this year’s winners, a panel of 52 radio talk show hosts, magazine editors, columnists, editorial writers and media observers each selected their choices for the first, second and third best quote from a slate of six to nine quotes in each category. First place selections were awarded three points, second place choices two points, with one point for the third place selections. Point totals are listed in the brackets at the end of the attribution for each quote. Each judge was also asked to choose a “Quote of the Year” denoting the most outrageous quote of 2002. The winner and top runner-up appear on page eight.

     A list of the judges, who were generous with their time, appears at the end of the issue. The MRC’s Kristina Sewell and Amanda Monson distributed and counted the ballots. Brent Baker and Rich Noyes assembled this issue and Mez Djouadi posted the complete issue, along with video clips, on the MRC’s Web site: www.mrc.org.

     Join us in Washington, DC on March 27 for the Dishonor Awards of 2003: Roasting the Most Outrageously Biased Liberal Reporters. Tickets for the event will go on sale in February. For more information on what will surely be a fun-filled evening, please contact the MRC’s Director of Special Events Sue Engle by e-mail at: sengle@mediaresearch.org.
